Why not from Apple Store?

On a serious note, I'd go with Steam. Steam is more likely to grow and be more established in the future.

Oh, and for the sake of this discussion, please ignore the fact that buying it from Desura gets you a Steam key.

(Although, honestly, that seems to be pretty common these days).
